Use Simple Die Cuts As Focal Points

See how you can use plain die cuts as focal points on your cards without having to stamp them.

[@marymckeown7132]

Wow, I LOVE these!! Absolutely beautiful - and oh so easy! And I SO appreciate that you are so frugal, and use the negative of die cuts... and die cut labels out of card layers that are going to be covered up anyway... I do that too but usually belittle myself for "being cheap"... But you have just legitimized my feelings, and shown positive proof that you can make something beautiful out of it! Thank you for sharing your creativity!!! =D =D

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you so much, Mary! I am so glad you like them and took the time to write such a nice comment. I appreciate hearing what specifically is helpful to you. Don't worry, using the scraps is being wise and responsible, not cheap! 😁❤

[@janevonvoros8786]

It's not being cheap, it's being frugal! Big difference. I do the same and applaud myself for doing so :)

[@anneemmerich6745]

I love your tip with using the negative piece of the die cut.. Brilliant idea and the cards turned out so perfect. All of these cards are Beautiful! Thank you sharing and inspiring 😊

Great tips Lorraine. Love how you have different uses for card you have cut shapes out of and they end up being a layer on the card as well. I love the idea of using DSP behind the negative space cut from a piece of card. Great idea. Beautiful cards - thank you for sharing.

Hi. Can you please let me know where to Dury the silicone mat you use in this KZbin clip. Many thanks. Love what you make ❤

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi there! Thanks for watching. All my products are from Stampin' Up!, including the silicone craft sheet. It can be purchased through my online store at lorrainecich.stampinup.net. It is item #127853. Let me know if I can be of any other help!

[@bernadettetibbo1174]

Hi Lorraine love your cards thanks for sharing. I noticed you have your Designer paper in a plastic folder, where do you purchase those from? Thanks 🇨🇦

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi Bernadette! Thanks for asking about the sleeves to hold the paper. They are from a company called Stamp-n-Storage. Not sure if this will work in Canada, but try clicking this link to save 10% off your first order. I will also receive reward points for referring you! Good luck. I really love those sleeves!

[@beckieblumenstein8985]

I really like the inlay

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you, Beckie!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Greetimgs from Canada Lorraine. Great cards. Have you got the bark embossing folder? I thought it would have looked nice on the green and white card. It is subtle as well. I would be interested in seeing more die cutting. Thanks so much. 😊

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Hi! It is a good thought, but sometimes the Bark folder isn't subtle l enough for me. I like it at certain times but I tend to gravitate toward a more delicate embossing folder when I'm looking for real subtle. Did you see how I used it on the Daisy in my Angled Tri-Fold card?

[@lambertfrancine9306]
